Yixing Zisha Teapot “De Zhong” – Hei Ni (black clay), 260ml

Description

Introduction

A stately bell-shaped De Zhong pot, fully hand-built in dark clay, with a stable base and comfortable handle.

Specifications

Craftsmanship

Full handmade: the body is built by hand from flat slabs of clay, beaten into shape on a turntable and finished with hand tools, without a mould. Each piece varies slightly.

Recommended Teas

Roasted oolongs and pu-erh

Before First Use

Rinse the pot inside and out with hot water, then soak it in clean hot water for a short while and let it dry. Brew and discard a first pot of the tea you plan to use. See our Tea Education article on seasoning a new pot.

Care

Empty the leaves after each session, rinse with clean hot water only (no detergent) and air-dry with the lid off. Ideally dedicate each pot to one type of tea. Handmade items vary slightly in colour and capacity; photos are for reference.
